Hey guys, I've been mining now for about 2 months when i read about the article in forbes.  Electrical Engineer by degree, and Software engineer/entrepreneur by trade.  I've made a couple associates that work for ISPs and the likes and have studied monetary theory so bitcoin is an awesome experiment to see what and how a currency really forms and operates from the ground up.  Really digging it.  I'm also looking at FPGA SHA256 designs when i'm bored.  I've read alot of fpgaminer's posts and really like what he has to say.
